Horses

I got me some Horses

to ride on

they say that your demons

can't go there

so I got me some Horses

to ride on

as long as your army

keeps perfectly still

and maybe I'll find me

a sailor

a tailor

and maybe together

we'll make mother well

so I got me some Horses

to ride on

as long as your army

keeps perfectly still

and you showed me the meadow

and milkwood

and silkwood

and you would if I would

but you never would

so I chases down your posies

your pansies in my hosies

then opened my hands and

they were empty then

off with Superfly

sniffing a sharpie pen

honey it's Bill and Ben

off with Superfly

counting you bees

oh me honey like one two three

the camera is rolling

it's easy

like one two three

and if there is a way

to find you I will find you

but will you find me there

Neil makes me a tree

an afro

a pharoah

I can't go

you said so

but threads that are golden don't break easily

so I got me some Horses

to ride on

they say that your demons

can't go there

so I got me some Horses

to ride on

as long as your army

keeps perfectly still

to run to

and I thought you'd see with me

and I know you know

and sometimes you take a swim

found your writing on my wall

if my hearts soaking wet

Boy your boots can leave a mess

nothings been the same

so are you gay

are you blue

thought we both could use a friend

to run to

and I thought I wouldn't have to keep

took my leather off the shelf

your apocalypse was fab

for a girl who couldn't choose between

the shower or the bath

and I thought I wouldn't have to be

with you
